This medication is administered only to adults, and the dosage should be individualized for each patient based on the efficacy and tolerability of amlodipine/atorvastatin. Amlodipine (s-Amlodipine) should be administered orally once daily at a dose of 5 (2.5) mg, which can be increased to a maximum of 10 (5) mg per day based on the patient's response.

This medication should not be used in certain patients. For instance, patients with allergies to this medication or similar drugs, severe hepatic dysfunction, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and those with muscle disorders should not receive treatment. Additionally, it may pose risks for patients with severe hypotension, heart problems, or in shock. When using this medication, caution is needed for patients with very poor kidney function, elderly patients, alcoholics, and those with a history of liver disease. In particular, if there is a risk of muscle-related disorders, muscle enzyme levels should be tested before treatment and the condition should be closely monitored during treatment. This medication generally has good tolerability, but rarely may cause side effects such as low blood pressure, headache, dizziness, fatigue, indigestion, muscle pain, skin rashes, and others. If severe liver dysfunction or muscle-related symptoms occur, medical personnel should be notified immediately. Pregnant women or women who may become pregnant should use adequate contraception during the course of this medication, and it should be stopped immediately if pregnancy is confirmed. It is also advisable for breastfeeding women to avoid taking this medication. This medication may interact with other drugs, so if the patient is taking other medications, they must inform medical personnel. In particular, the risk of side effects may increase when taken with drugs that affect enzymes responsible for drug metabolism in the liver. In case of overdose, severe hypotension, shock, and heart problems may occur, thus requiring an immediate visit to a medical facility for appropriate treatment. The safety and efficacy of this medication in children or elderly individuals have not been adequately studied, hence caution should be exercised in these age groups.
